# Boy in a White Room - Hardcover

by **Karl Olsberg** (Author)

**A gripping YA sci-fi thriller by German and Spiegel-bestselling author, Karl Olsberg. _The Boy in a White Room_ was nominated for Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2018, Germany's most prestigious youth fiction award.**

A fifteen-year-old boy wakes to find himself locked in a white, cube-shaped room. No windows. No doors. Total silence. He has no memories. No clue how he got there. No idea who he is.

A computer-generated voice named Alice responds to his questions. Through her, he is able to access the internet. As the boy uncovers snippets of his story--an attempted abduction, a critial injury, a murder -- it becomes clearer. But when some of the pieces don't fit, how can he tell what's real and what's not? Who can he trust? And who is he really?
